Welcome. I was diagnosed with Fibro last May and I have found that anytime you have a question, you can usually come on here and find the answer. We all suffer from this mysterious disease and therefore some of us have experienced the same issues. Its nice to have a place to turn to when you feel like no one else understands. Take care of yourself and welcome to the family.

jquick, you are definitely in the right place! If I hadn't found this wonderful group of people when I was diagnosed in August, I would probably be huddled in a corner rambling to myself.

Try to stay positive, learn all you can so that you can help your doctor in helping you. Share your ups and downs with us, we really do care.

Warm Hugs,
Nancy

Hello, you have the right place. DS is filled with wonderful people all willing to listen, offer support and good advice. Fibro is different for all of us and yet on this site there is always some else dealing with the similar issues that can really help. Hugs to you.

Welcome to the group! This is a really great and supportive group! I have had fibro for about ten years or so. It is no fun, but venting and talking about it with others who understand is really beneficial. We are all here for you! Sending hugs : )

Hi Jquick. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in March of last year, but had symptoms 15 months before my diagnosis. I initially ignored my symptoms because I thought they weren't severe enough to be fibromyalgia. I then awoke last February in severe pain throughout my entire body and ended up in the ER.

This website has been a lifesaver for me and I'm sure that it will be very beneficial to you as well. Best Wishes.
